You need to be between 12 years old and 18 years and
9 months old, to join. We meet up one to two nights a week. Are
you up to the challenge?
Army
Cadet Leaders
We are also
look for adults over 18 years old who would like to become Army
Cadet Leaders. You too will take part in the adventure of pot-holing
or camping but you will also help your cadets to develop a sense
of achievement, self esteem and working in a team. You will help
them learn new skills, both physical and mental.
What do you
get from it?
As a leader, your self esteem is obviously rewarded, your abilities
as a team builder and the capacity to handle pressure and responsibility
are proven. This all looks good on your CV and should impress any
employer. You will also receive up to 28 days pay per year plus,
where appropriate, out of pocket expenses. You do need to be committed
though, you will need to give up a couple of evenings a week, a
weekend every month or so and go on a two weeks annual camp in the
summer. You must be prepared to learn new skills and knowledge,
achieve first aid qualifications or even your DoE Gold Award!
It's a lot to
ask of you, but we know it will be worth it. For further information,
please call 0845 600 77 99.

The Air Cadets
are a voluntary youth organisation sponsored by the Royal Air Force.
The Duke of Edinburgh's Award scheme is strongly encouraged, and
many senior cadets achieve their Gold Award. The Air Cadets encourage
a practical interest in aviation, and help young people to develop
a spirit of adventure and bring out their qualities of leadership.
It is open to
young people from ages 13 to 20. Most large towns have an Air Cadet
Squadron, with some 30-50 teenagers parading twice a week. Smaller
towns may have a detached flight of up to 30 young people.

Combined
Cadet Force
Some schools have a Combined Cadet Force (CCF) - with at least two
wings from either the army, navy or air force. Some may also have
a band. CCFs give pupils a chance to show their teachers another
side of their characters, to think for themselves and to demonstrate
their practical skills. CCFs are only open to the pupils of the
school they are based in, and many of their adult instructors come
from the school staff. They usually meet immediately after school
one afternoon a week.
